Is This Old Oprah Interview The Reason Trump’s Labor Sec Nom Just Dropped Out? [VIDEO]

President Trump’s nomination choice for labor secretary, Andy Puzder, has just dropped out of contention and it appears that an old Oprah Winfrey interview has everything to do with it.

Winfrey’s interview with “Ann,” whom she claimed is Puzder’s ex-wife, Lisa Fierstein, divorced the CEO of CKE Restaurants back in 1987. The 1990 interview was part of a show she did on “High Class Battered Women.”

Puzder was due to begin his confirmation hearings Thursday, but NBC reports that he canceled his prep meetings for them.

Among the allegations, Fierstein claimed he hit her in places where it wouldn’t show and maintained she still had injuries years later:

“Most men who are in positions like that don’t leave marks. The damage that I sustained you can’t see. It’s permanent. … They don’t hit you in the face. They’re too smart. They don’t hit you in front of everyone.”
